The Fair’s board of commissioners met Thursday to discuss this year’s expo, but the Fair’s future quickly became the hot topic.

Fair General Manager Chris Wiseman said that during the state’s Joint Budget Committee hearing on the Fair’s budget recommendations, the meeting turned to talk of moving the Fair out of Pueblo.

“They were saying basically if the city of Pueblo is unwilling to invest in the Fair, meaning the vote that recently didn’t pass and the fact the city is continually reducing the amount of money that it gives the Fair, then why should the state of Colorado?” Wiseman said.
